Strengthen risk capture notably Counterparty Risk
 Calibration of counterparty credit risk modeling approaches such as Internal Model Methods (IMM) to stressed periods
 Increased correlation for certain financial institutions in the IRB formula to reflect experience of recent crisis and new capital charge
for CVA and wrong‐way risk
 “Carrot and Stick” approach to encouraging use of Central Counterparties (CCPs) for Standard Derivatives
 Improved Counterparty risk management standards in the area of Collateral Management and Stress‐Testing

2.
Specific Dutch Central Bank DNB Rules prescription on implementation of CRD IV
Counterparty Credit Risk CCR rules applied:
 CCR rules cover OTC derivatives, repos, stock lending and borrowing and other securities financing transactions (SFTs)
 EAD is an input into the credit risk capital calculation under either the credit risk standardized or IRB approach
What is calculated under CCR Rules?
 A loan equivalent exposure at Default (EAD)
 Approaches:
1. (Original Exposure Method)
2. Current Exposure Method (CEM)
3. Standardized method
4. Internal Model method (IMM)
DNB Policy Proposals:
1. Impact of Capital charge for Credit Value adjustments (CVA)
2. Impact of higher Asset value Correlation (AVC)
3. Capital held for CCPs
Trading Book – Market risk Requirements for trading book
Key Issues
 Substantial losses in trading book due to downgrades and defaults
 For some VaR‐firms: Losses ≥ Capital charges
 Considerable volatility in equities
New capital charges for Trading Book
 SA Banks:
- Specific risk for equity
- Specific risk charge for securitizations/correlation trading
 IM Banks
- Incremental Risk Charge (IRC)
- Stress‐ VaR
- Specific risk charge for securitizations/correlation trading
Securitization treatments
 Higher risk weights for re‐securitization exposure (SA & IRB)
 Resecuritisation: a securitization where one of the underlying exposures is a securitization position
 Senior resecuritisation refers to those exposures that (i) are senior and (ii) none of the underlying exposures are
themselves re‐securititsation exposures
 Neither materiality thresholds nor carve outs
DNB Policy takes on Securitizations:
 Securitization of revolving exposures
- Trigger events followed by subordination of originator
 First loss guarantee schemes
- With and without rebates

3. - `Non‐economic` premiums
 Supervisory formula/dependency CRAs
 Update risk weights for RBA (IRB & SA)
